Always - Sunset On Third Street
Beautifully recreating the post-war Tokyo landscape of the 1950s, this ensemble story is based on a popular manga and is an intimate look into the lives of various people in a city neighbourhood - the small-town girl who comes to the big city; the family she lives with and works for; the candy store owner with dreams of writing a famous novel; and the local bar owner he has a crush on. A huge hit in Japan, it grabbed 12 Japanese Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay.
